Portland Radio Project

During the Spring and Summer of 2018, Kirsten spent a large portion of her time volunteering at Portland Radio Project — a 501c3 nonprofit community radio station highlighting local musicians, small businesses and art lovers. She greeted commuters over the airwaves every Wednesday morning for a live, two-hour show filled with music, weather, traffic and news updates.

In addition to her work behind the mic, Kirsten was instrumental in managing social-media driven fundraising campaigns and fine-tuning the station’s overall social strategy (with help from a dedicated intern).
